A Man Sent to England to Induce I'm

WELAKA, FLA, Aug 16 The Welaka
Land Company was organized at this place
about one year ago, and has been working
very industriously in the way of securing
valuable property, both improved and I'M
improved. The prospects of success were
such as to warrant them in sending one of
their number, j. Russell Kennedy, to Eng
land for the purpose of inducing immigra-
ton to this section. This is step in this di-
rection, and no doubt will be crowned by
success Mr. Kennedy is now on the sea on
his errand, and will be gone about two
months. There are many English set
tiers throughout Florida. They find it
hard to get reliable information. The

WOLFOLK'S LAWYER.

He Says an Attempt Will be Made to
Prove Other Parties Guilty.
The Atlanta journal prints the following
interview with Frank II. Walker, Wool
folks lawyer:
Mr.. Walker was with Voolfolk for two
hours this morning. and after the long in
terview with his client he said to a Journal
reporter
81 hardly wish to talk of the case yet
that is. of what Voolfolk has said to me.
have no objection to giving you the theory
of defense, however"
well, what is your theoryr
az shall prove first, and above all, that
Thomas Voolfolk is insane: that rational
rs he may appear at times and on some sub
jects, he is monomaniac and devoid of all
reason when it comes to weighing right and
wrong, good and evil, and is no more re-
sponsiblo for dyeing his hand in human
blood than is the lion of the jungleS or the
mad dog
Upon what do you base the theroy of
insanity"
why, admitting that he killed his whole
family to gain possession of the property of
his father; why, if he had been q sane man
the last thing on earth he would have spoken
of would have been that propcrty-the mo-
tive of the crime. As you know, he has talked
of nothing else. But have a theory that
Voolfolk is not n murderer
What facts have you to back this theorym
eagerly asked the reporter.
81 have Woolfolk's confession to me
about certain family matters that have
never been made public"
And what are thesef
Pardon me; do not intend 10 make
them public quite yet. And have n state
ment from the prisoner, which, If true, will
place the murder ON other parties"
"Will yon make that pubhcln
81 can say this much, that WoolfallS has
given me the names Of persons whom he
thinks committed the wholesale murder.
and has given "A chain of evidence which
makes his story plausible one TO my mind. 4"
Suppose Voolfolk tells the truth, how
will you explain his conduct just after the
killing"
Easy enough. AS said before, the man
is crazy, and the horrible crime so greatly
shocked his mind, made weak from dissipa-
ton, that he did not know what he was
doing and did not care
That sounds reasonable enough"
Then it may he that Voolfolk was used
as tool by those who knew of his weak
mental condition, and the names he has
given me may be those of his allies / will
have most careful investigation made.
and follow closely every clue given by my
client"

OF the Great Soldiers Admirers.
A Saratoga correspondent of The
Louisville (0urier journal writes:
There is no dim.nution of interest in
Mount McGregor. Trains 90 up the
mountain mornings and afternoons.
Visitors have two hours at the Bal
moral Hotel if they wish to return to
their dinner in Saratoga, or to supper
in the evening. Those who wish to
spend the entire day find enough TO in
terest them, and can leave on the 6
o'clock train, reaching Saratoga in
forty minutes. OF course the Drexel
cottage, where Gen. Grant died, is the
first place visited by tourists. A guide
has charge of the house, and shows
visitors through the rooms on the first
floor. The bed on which Gen. Grant
died stands in corner of the long
parlor. II is bedstcad made for the
sick, and has no supcriluity of wood
work, but is perfectly plain. A fancy
counterpart covers the mattress. In
smaller room extending from the par
lor are the faded wreaths and floral de-
signs sent after the General died. and
which were left when the remains were
taken to New York. "The Gates
Aiarn made of immortelles, is perhaps
the largest design ever made of i'm
morlelles. The gates are the size of
those used in gardens, and there are
palings and ground work for all to
rest upon. This and huge pillow the
size of a flower-bed, also made of i'm
mortelles, are in perfect state of pres
ervation. The cushion was sent by a
Grand Army post. There are other
floral designs on table.
The qu Il pen used by Gen. Grant
when finishing the last pages of the sec
ond volume of his book is stuck on the
mantel-picce in the parlor. In the
library are two very large chairs cover
ed with morocco and now draped with
black; these chairs are placed so rs to
face each other, and served as bed
for the General at his house in New
York. He laid in them on the journey
to Mount McGregor, and used them
until he was confined to the bed. Con-
venient to these chairs stands Il table
with his writing implements and n
VIII te china cup and spittoon which he
used; also an ordinary japanese fan
which was used when he suffered from
heat. The fan possesses in terest because
il was made for him. and has the Jap
anese and American flags and the Gen
erals name. The Mikado had this
made and presented TO Gen. Grant
when he visited Japan. The fan is of
the common style which sells for 10
cents. In cabinet with glass doors is
part of Gen. Grants wardrobe.
About six nicely Numbered shirts, with
collars and cuffs, are in pile; his hat,
with pair of gloves, summer suit of
clothes, are all looked at with COM
mendable interest and reverence. All
visitors are invited into an adjoining
room, where photographs of the Grant
family as q group, single pictures of
the inter or and exterior of the cottage,
small albums of compressed flowers
collected on the mountain, with the
common and botanical names. are
all sold, and the money thus obtained
is used to defray the expenses of taking
care of the cottage.
